What happened here doesn't seem to be a failure, but rather was a
success in the following sense: There was not sufficient maturity in the
proposals for a rough consensus to be reached that the proposals were
adequate to meet the bare minimum of goals that they needed to meet.
The process brought the fact to light that the proposals were
inadequate. Many of us weren't aware of this early on. 3929 seems to
assume that a failure to reach a rough consensus must mean there's a
problem in the process, when in fact it could be in the proposals.
